PREFACE 

Ever since the publication of our Elementary Mathematical 
Analysis (The Macmillan Co., 1917) we have been asked by 
numerous teachers to pubhsh separately, as a textbook in plane 
trigonometry, the material on trigonometry and logarithms of 
the text mentioned. 

The present textbook is the direct outcome of these requests. 
Of course, such separate publication of material taken out of 
the body of another book necessitated some changes and an in- 
troductory chapter. As a matter of fact, however, we have 
found it desirable to make a number of changes and additions 
not required by the necessities of separate publication. As a 
result fully half of the material has been entirely rewritten, with 
the purpose of bringing the text abreast of the most recent 
tendencies in the teaching of trigonometry. 

There is an increasing demand for a brief text emphasizing the 
numerical aspect of trigonometry and gi\Hing only so much of the 
theory as is necessary for a thorough understanding of the 
numerical applications. The material has .■ therefore been ar- 
ranged in such a way that the first six chapters give the essen- 
tials of a course in numerical trigonometry and logarithmic 
computation. The remainder of the theory usually given in 
the longer courses is contained in the last two chapters. 

More emphasis than hitherto has been placed on the use of 
tables. For this purpose a table of squares and square roots 
has been added. Recent experience has emphasized the appli- 
cations of trigonometry in navigation. ^Ye have accordingly 
added some material in the text on navigation, have introduced

the haversine, and have added a four-place table of haversines 
for the benefit of those teachers who feel that the use of the 
haversine in the solution of triangles is desirable. This material 
can, however, be readily omitted by any teacher who prefers 
to do so.

PLAKE TRIGO]N^OMETRY AND 
JN^UMERICAL COMPUTATION 

CHAPTEK I 
INTRODUCTORY CONCEPTIONS 

1. The Uses of Trigonometry. The word " trigonometry '^ 
is derived from two Greek words meaning " the measurement 
of triangles.'' A triangle has six so-called elements (or parts) ; 
viz., its three sides and its three angles. We know from our 
study of geometry that, in general, if three elements of a tri- 
angle (not all angles) are given, the triangle is completely 
determined.* Hence, if three such determining elements of a 
triangle are given, it should be possible to compute the remain- 
ing elements. The methods by which this can be done, i.e. 
methods for " solving a triangle,'' constitute one of the prin- 
cipal objects of the study of trigonometry. 

If two of the angles of a triangle are given, the third angle 
can be found from the relation A -\- B -{- C = 180° (A, B, and 
C representing the angles of the triangle) ; also, in a right tri- 
angle, if two of the sides are kno^n, the third side can be 
found from the relation a^ -\- h- = C' (a, b being the legs and c 
the hypotenuse). But this is nearly the limit to which the 
methods of elementary geometry will allow us to go in the 
solution of a triangle. 

Trigonometry! is the foundation of the art of surveying 

* What exceptions are there to this statement ? 

t Throughout this book we shaU confine ourselves to the subject of ** plane 
trigonometry," which deals with rectilinear triangles in a plane. " Spherical 
trigonometry" deals with similar problems regarding triangles on a sphere 
whose sides are arcs of great circles.

and of much of the art of navigation. It is, moreover, of 
primary importance in practically every branch of pure and 
applied mathematics. Many of the more elementary applica- 
tions will be presented in later portions of this text. 

2. The << Shadow Method." The ancient Greeks employed 
the theory of similar triangles in the solution of a special type 
of triangle problem which it is worth our while to examine 
briefly, because it contains the germ of the theory of trigo- 
nometry. 

It is desired to find the height CA of a vertical tower stand- 
ing on a level plain. It is observed 
that at a certain time the tower casts a 
shadow 42 ft. long. At the same time 
a pole CA', 10 ft. long, held vertically 
with one end on the ground casts a 
shadow 7 ft. long. From these data 
the height of the tower is readily com- 
puted as follows : The right triangles 
ABC 2ind A'B'C are similar since AB 
= Z B\ (\Yhy ? ) Therefore we have

From the point of view of 
our future study the important thing to notice in the solution 

CA CA' 

of the preceding article is the fact that the ratios , 

^ ^ BC B'C 

are equal, i.e. that the ratio of the side opposite the angle B to 

the side adjacent to the angle is determined by the size of the angle, 

and does not depend at all on any of the other elements of the 

triangle, jDrovided only it is a right triangle. 



I, § 3] INTRODUCTORY CONCEPTIONS 3 

Definition. Whenever a quantity depends for its value on 
a second quantity, the first is called a function of the second. 

Thus in our example the ratio of the side opi)osite an angle 
of a right triangle to the side adjacent is a quantity which 
depends for its value only on the angle ; it is, therefore, called' 
a function of the angle. This ratio is merely one of several 
functions of an angle which we shall define in the next 
chapter. By means of these functions the fundamental prob- 
lem of trigonometry can be readily solved. 

The particular function which we have discussed is called 
the tangent of the angle. Explicitly defined for an acute angle 
of a right triangle, we have 

. 4. p 1 side opposite the ans^le 

tangent of angle = ^ ^ r^ — ^—~• 

side adjacent to the angle 

If the angle £ in the preceding example were measured it 
would be found to contain oo°. In any right triangle then 
containing an angle of Bd"" we should find this ratio to be equal 
to y^-, or 1.43. If the angle is changed, this ratio is changed, 
but it is fixed for any given angle. If the angle is 45°, the 
tangent is equal to 1, since in that case the triangle is 
isosceles. 

The word tangent is abbreviated " tan/'* Thus we have 
already found tan 5o° = 1.43 and tan 45° = 1.00. Similarly 
to every other acute angle corresponds a definite number, 
which is the tangent of that angle. The values of the tan- 
gents of angles have been tabulated. We shall have occasion 
to use such tables extensively in the future. 

If a, h, c are the sides of a right triangle ABC with right 
angle at C and with the usual notation whereby the side a is 
opposite the angle A and side b opposite the angle B, the defi- 
nition of the tangent gives 

tan^ = -. 
a

From this we get at once, 



b = a tan B and a = - 



tan B 



These are our first trigonometric formulas. By means of 
them and a table of tangents we can compute either leg of a 
right triangle, if the other leg and an acute angle are given. 



EXERCISES 

1. What is meant by '' the elements of a triangle " ? by *' solving a 
triangle" ? 

2. A tree casts a shadow 20 ft. long, when a vertical yardstick with 
one end on the ground casts a shadow of 2 ft. How high is the tree ? 

3. A chimney is known to be 90 ft. high. How long is its shadow 
when a 9-foot pole held vertically with one end on the ground casts a 
shadow 5 ft. long ? 

4. Give examples from your own experience of quantities which are 
functions of other quantities. 

5. Define the tangent of an acute angle of a right triangle. Why does 
its value depend only on the size of the angle ? 

6. In the adjacent figure think of the line BA as rotating about the 
point B in the direction of the arrow, starting from 
the position j5C (when the angle B is 0) and assum- 
ing successively the positions BAi, BA2, BA^, .... 

Show that the tangent of the angle B is veiy 
small when B is veiy small, that tan B increases as 
the angle increases, that tan B is less than 1 as 
long as 5 is less than 45°, that tan 45° = 1, that 
tan B is greater than 1 if the angle is greater than 
45°, and that tan B increases without limit as B ap- 
proaches 90°. 

7. The following table gives the values of the tan- 
gent for certain values of the angle :

8. From the data and the results of the preceding exercise find the 
other acute angle and the hypotenuse of each of the right triangles. 

4. Coordinates in a Plane. The student should already be 
familiar from his study of algebra with the method of locating 
points in a plane by means of coordinates. Since we shall 
often have occasion to use such a method in the future, we will 
recall it briefly at this point. 

The method consists in referring the points in question to 
two straight lines X'X and Y' T, at right angles to each other, 
which are called the axes of 
coordinates. X'X is usually 
drawn horizontally and is 
called the x-axis ; Y^ Y, which 
is then vertical, is called the 
y-axis. 

The position of any point 
P is completely determined 
if its distance (measured in 
terms of some convenient ^^^* ^ 

unit) and its direction from each of the axes is known. Thus 
the position of P^ (Fig. 2) is known, if we know that it is 4 
units to the right of the i/-axis and 2 units above the a;-axis. If 
we agree to consider distance measured to the right or upwards 
as positive, and therefore distance measured to the left or down- 
ward as negative ; and if, furthermore, we represent distances 
and directions measured parallel to the x-axis by x, and distances 
and directions measured parallel to the ?/-axis by y, then the 
position of Pi may be completely given by the specifications 
x = -|-4, y =-\- 2\ or more briefly still by the symbol (4, 2).

6 PLANE TRIGONOMETRY [I, § 4 

Similarly, the point P2 in Fig. 2 is completely determined 
by the symbol (-3, 5). Observe that in such a symbol the x of 
the point is written first, the y second. The two numbers x 
and y, determining the position of a point, are called the 
coordinates of the point, the x being called the x- coordinate 
or abscissa, the y being called the y-cobrdinate or ordinate 
of the point. What are the coordinates of P3 and P^ in 
Eig. 2? 

The two axes of coordinates divide the plane into four regions 
called quadrants, numbered as in Fig. 2. The quadrant in 
which a point lies is completely determined by the signs of its 
coordinates. Thus points in the first quadrant are character- 
ized by coordinates ( + , +), those in the second by ( — , +), 
those in the third by ( — , — ), and those in the fourth by (+, — ). 

Square-ruled paper (so-called coordinate or cross section 
paper) is used to advantage in " plotting '' {i.e. locating) points 
by means of their coordinates. 

5. Magnitude and Directed Quantities. In the last article 
we introduced the use of positive and negative numbers, i.e. 
the so-called signed numbers, while in the preceding articles, 
where we were concerned with the sides and angles of triangles, 
we dealt only with unsigned numbers. The latter represent 
magnitude or size only (as a length of 20 ft.), while the former 
represent both a magnitude and one of two opposite direc- 
tions or senses (as a distance of 20 ft. to the left of a given 
line). We are thus led to consider two kmds of quantities • 
(1) magnitudes, and (2) directed quantities. Examples of the 
former are : the length of the side of a triangle, the weight of 
a barrel of flour, the duration of a period of time, etc. Ex- 
amples of the latter are : the coordinates of a point, the tem- 
perature (a certain number of degrees above or below zero), 
the time at which a certain event occurred (a certain numbev 
of hours before or after a given instant), etc. 



I, § 6] INTRODUCTORY CONCEPTIONS 7 

Geometrically, the (listinction between directed quantities 
and mere magnitudes corresponds to the fact that, on the one 
hand, we may think of the line segment AB as drawn from A to 
B or from jB to ^ ; and, on the other hand, we 
may choose to consider only the length of ' * *~~^ ' ^ 
such a segment, irrespective of its direction. ' 
Figure 3 exhibits the geometric representation 
of 5, + 5, and — 5. A segment whose direc- 
tion is definitely taken account of is called 3i~directed segment. 
The magnitude of a directed quantity is called its absolute 
value. Thus the absolute value of — 5 (and also of + 5) is 5. 
Observe that the segments OM^, M^P^ (Fig. 2) representing 
the coordinates of P^ are directed segments. 

6. Directed and General Angles. In elementary geometry 

an angle is usually defined as the figure formed by two half- 
lines issuing from a point. However, it is often more serviceable 
to think of an angle as being generated 
by the rotation in a plane of a half-line 
/ \ OP about the point as a pivot, start- 

,-'''"" \ ing from the initial position OA and 

^ ^ ending at the terminal position OB (Fig. 

4). We then say that the line OP has 
generated the angle AOB, Similarly, if OP rotates from the 
initial position OB, to the terminal position OA, then the angle 
BOA is said to be generated. Considerations similar to those 
regarding directed line segments (§ 5) lead us to regard one of 
the above directions of rotation as positive and the other as 
negative. It is of course quite immaterial which one of the 
two rotations we regard as positive, but 
w^e shall assume, from now on, that 
cotmterclockicise rotation is positive and 
clockwise rotation is negative. 

Still another extension of the notion Fig. 5 



8 



PLANE TRIGONOMETRY 



[I, §6 



of angle is desirable. In elementary geometry no angle greater 
than 360° is considered and seldom one greater than 180°. But 
from the definition of an angle just given, we see that the 
revolving line OP may make any number of complete revolu- 
tions before coming to rest, and thus the angle generated may 
be of any magnitude. Angles generated in this way abound 
in practice and are known as angles of rotation.^ 

When the rotation generating an angle is to be indicated, it is 
customary to mark the angle by means of an arrow starting at 
the initial line and ending at the terminal line. Unless some 
such device is used, confusion is liable to result. In Fig. 6 




1110 



Fig. 



angles of 30°, 390°, 750°, 1110°, are drawn. If the angles were 
not marked one might take them all to be angles of 30°. 

7. MeaSlirement of Angles. For the present, angles will be 
measured as in geometry, the degree (°) being the unit of measure. A 
complete revolution is 360°. The other units in this system are the 
minute ('), of which 60 make a degree, and the second ('^), of which 60 
make a minute. This system of units is of great antiquity, having been 
used by the Babylonians. The considerations of the previous article then 
make it clear that any real number, positive or negative, may represent an 
angle, the absolute value of the number representing the magnitude of 
the angle, the sign representing the direction of rotation.

Consider the angle XOP = 6^ whose vertex coincides with the origin

*For example, the minute hand of a clock describes an angle of —180° 
n 30 minutes, an angle of — 540° in 90 minutes, and an angle of — 720° in 120 
ninutes.

cides with the positive half of the ic-axis (Fig. 7). The angle $ is then 
said to be in the first, second, third, or fourth quadrant, according as its 
terminal line OP is in the first, second, third, or fourth quadrant. 

8. Addition and Subtraction of Directed Angles. The 

meaning to be attached to the sum of two directed angles is analogous to 
that for the sum of two directed 

line segments. Let a and b be /^ /^ 

two half -lines issuing from the ^ ^^ 

same point O and let (a6) repre- 
sent an angle obtained by rotat- 
ing a half -line from the position 
a to the position 6. Then if we 

have two angles (a6) and (6c) with the same vertex O, the sum (a6) -|- (6c) 
of the angles is the angle represented by the rotation of a half -line from 
the position a to the position 6 and then rotating from the position 6 to the 
position c. But these two rotations are together equivalent to a single rota- 
tion from a to c, no matter what the relative positions of a, 6, c may have 
been. Hence, we have for any three half-Unes a, 6, c issuing from a point 0, 
(1) {ah)\{hc) = {^ac), (a6) + (ba)=: 0, (a6) = (c&)-(ca). 
It must be noted, however, that the equality sign here means " equal, 
except possibly for multiples of 260^.^^ The proof of the last relation is 
left as an exercise.

CHAPTER II 



THE RIGHT TRIANGLE 



9. Introduction. At the beginning of the preceding chap- 
ter we described the fundamental problem of trigonometry to 
be the " solution of the triangle/' i.e. the problem of com- 
puting the unknown elements of a triangle when three of the 
elements (not all angles) are given. This problem can be 
solved by finding relations between the sides and angles of a 
triangle by means of which it is possible to express the un- 
known elements in terms of the known elements. In order 
to establish such relations, it has been found desirable to 
define certain functions of an angle. One such function — the 
tangent — was introduced in § 3 by way of preliminary illus- 
tration. 

In the present chapter, we shall give a new definition of the 
tangent of an angle and also define two other equally impor- 
tant functions — the sine and the cosine. It should be noted 
that the definition given for the tangent in § 3 applies only to 
an acute angle of a right triangle. For the purposes of a sys- 
tematic study of trigonometry we require a more general defini- 
tion, which will apply to any angle, positive or negative, and 
of any magnitude. Such definitions are given in the next 
article, in which the notion of a system of coordinates plays a 
fundamental role, the notion of a triangle not being introduced 
at all. After considering some of the consequences of our 
definitions in §§ 11-13, we consider the way in which these 
definitions enable us to express relations between the sides 
and angles of a right triangle. These results are then imme- 
diately applied to the solution of numerical problems by means 
of tables and to applications in surveying and navigation.

10. The Sine, Cosine, and Tangent of an Angle. We 

may now define three of the functions referred to in § 3. To 
this end let d = XOP (Fig. 9) be any directed angle, and let 




JcyL^ 



us establish a system of rectangular coordinates in the plane 
of the angle such that the initial side OX of the angle is the 
positive half of the a^axis, the vertex being at the origin and 
the 2/-axis being in the usual position with respect to the 
a;-axis. Let the units on the two axes be equal. Finally, let 
P be any point other than on the terminal side of the angle 
6, and let its coordinates be (a?, y). The directed segment 
OP = r is called the distance of P and is always chosen posi- 
tive. The coordinates x and y are positive or negative accord- 
ing to the conventions previously adopted. We then define 
ordinate of P y

These functions are usually written in the abbreviated forms 
sin 6, cos 9, tan 6, respectively ; but they are read as " sine 0,'^ 
" cosine 6,'' " tangent ^." It is very important to notice that 
the values of these functions are independent of the position 
of the point P on the terminal line, For let P (x\ y') be any 
other point on this line. Then from the similar right triangles 
ocyrf and x^y'r' it follows that the ratio of any two sides 
of the triangle xyr is equal in magnitude and sign to the

ratio of the corresponding sides of the triangle x'y'r'. There- 
fore the values of the functions just defined depend merely 
on the angle 6. They are one-valued functions of 6 and are 
called trigonometric functions. 

Since the values of these functions are defined as the ratios 
of two directed segments, they are abstract numbers. They 
may be either positive, negative, or zero. Remembering that r 
is always positive, we may readily verify that the signs of the 
three functions are given by the following table.

14. Sides and Angles of a Right Triangle. Evidently any 
right triangle ABC can be so placed in a system of coordi- 
nates that the vertex of either acute 
angle coincides with the origin 
and that the adjacent leg lies along 
the positive end OX of the ic-axis 
(Fig. 12). The follov/ing relations 
then follow at once from the defini- 
tions of the sine, cosine, and tangent 
of § 10. 

In any right trimigle, the trigonometric functions of either acute 
angle are given by the ratios : 




the sine • 



the cosine = 



side opposite the angle 
hypotenuse ' 

side adjacent to the angle 



the tangent = 



hypotenuse 
side opposite the angle 



side adjacent to the angle ' 

These relations are fundamental in all that follows. They 
should be firmly fixed in mind in such a way that they can be 
readily applied to any right triangle in what- 
ever position it may happen to be (for example 
as in Fig. 13). The student should be able to 
reproduce any of the following relations with- 
out hesitation whenever called for. They 
should not be memorized, but should be read 
from an actual or imagined figure :

two elements with any unknown element, from which relation 
the unknown element can be computed.

Example 1. • Given that sin ^ = |, find the 
values of the other functions. 

Since sin is positive, it follows that d is 
an angle in the first or in the second quad- 
rant. Moreover, since the value of the sine 
is I, then y = Z - k and r = 5 • ^*, where k is 
any positive constant different from zero. (Why ?) It is, of course, 
immaterial what positive value we assign to A*, so we shall assign the 
value 1. We know, however, that the abscissa, ordinate, and distance 
are connected by the relation x^ + 7/2 = r^, and hence it follows that 
X = ± 4. Figure 17 is then self-explanatory. Hence we have, for the first 
quadrant, sin ^ = |, cos ^ = |, and tan ^ = f ; for the second quadrant, 
sin ^ = f , cos ^ = — I, tan d = — I. 

Example 2. Given that sin^r=y\ and that tan ^

Since sin 6 is positive and tan 6 is negative, 6 must

17. Computation for Any Angle. Tables. The values of 
the trigonometric functions of any angle may be computed by 
the graphic method. For 
example, let us find the 
trigonometric functions of 
35°. We tirst construct 
on square-ruled paper, 
by means of a protractor, 
an angle of 35° and choose 
a point P on the ter- 
minal line so that OP 
shall equal 100 units. 
Then from the figure we 
find that OM=z 82 units 
and MP = 57 units. 
Therefore 




30 iO 50 60 70 80 90 100 

Fig. 19 



sin 35° = i¥o = ^-^^^ cos 35° = -f-^-^ = 0.82, tan 35° = fj = 0.70. 

The tangent may be found more readily if we start by tak- 
ing OA = 100 units and then measure AB. In this case, 
AB = 70 units and hence tan 35^ = j^-^ = 0.70. 

It is at once evident that the graphic method, although 
simple, gives only an approximate result. However, the values 
of these functions have been computed accurately by methods 
beyond the scope of this book. The results have been put in 
tabular form and are known as tables of natural trigonometric 
functions. Such tables and how to use them will be discussed 
in the next article. 

Figure 20 makes it possible to read off the sine, cosine, or 
tangent of any angle between 0° and 90° with a fair degree of 
accuracy. The figure is self-explanatory. In reading off 
values of the tangent use the vertical line through 100 for angles 
up to 55°, and the line through 10 for angles greater than 55°. 
Its use is illustrated in some of the following exercises.

18. Use of Tables of Trigonometric Functions. Examina- 
tion of the tables of ^' Four Place Trigonometric Functions '' 
(p. 112) shows columns headed '^ Degrees/' " Sine/' " Tangent/' 
" Cosine/' and under each of the last three named a column 
headed " Value " (none of the other columns concern us at pres- 
ent). Two problems regarding the use of these tables now 
present themselves. 

1. To find the value of a function when the angle is given, 
(a) Find the value of sin 15° 20'. In the column headed 
" Degrees " locate the line corresponding to 15° 20' (p. 113) ; on 
the same line in the " value " column for the " Sine/' we read 
the result : sin 15^ 20' = 0.2644. On the same line, by using 
the proper column, we find tan 15° 20' = 0.2742, and cos 15° 20' 
= 0.9644. 



22 PLANE TRIGONOMETRY [II, § 18 

(b) Find the value of tan 57° 50'. The entries in the 
column marked " Degrees " at the top only go as far as 45° 
(p. 116). But the columns marked " Degrees '' at the bottom 
contain entries beginning with 46° (p. 116) and running back- 
wards to 90° (p. 112). In using these entries we must use the 
designations at the bottom of the columns. Thus on the line 
corresponding to 57° 50' (p. 115) we find the desired value : 
tan 57° 50' = 1.5900. Also sin 57° 50' = 0.8465, and cos 57° 
50' = 0.5324. 

(c) Find the value of sin 34° 13'. This value lies between 
the values of sin 34° 10' and 34° 20'. We find for the latter 

sin 34° 10' = 0.5616 

sin 34° 20' = 0.5640 

Difference for 10' = 0.0024 

Assuming that the change in the value of the function 
throughout this small interval is proportional to the change in 
the value of the angle, we conclude that the change for 1' in the 
angle would be 0.00024. For 3', the change in the value of the 
function would then be 0.00072. Neglecting the 2 in the last 
place (since we only use four places and the 2 is less than 5), 
we find sin 34° 13' = 0.5616 + 0.0007 = 0.5623. This process is 
called interpolation. With a little practice all the work in- 
volved can and should be done mentally ; Le. after locating the 
place in the table (and marking it with a finger), we observe 
that the " tabular difference '' is '^ 24 '' ; we calculate mentally 
that .3 of 24 is 7.2, and then add 7 to 5616 as we write down 
the desired value 0.5623. 

Similarly we find tan 34° 13' = 0.6800 (the correction to be 
added is in this case 12.9 which is " rounded off '' to 13) and 
cos 34° 13' = 0.8269. (Observe that in this case the correction 
must be subtracted. Why ?) 

2. To find the angle ivhen a value of a function is given. 
Here we proceed in the opposite direction. Given sin A = 



II, § IS] THE RIGHT TRIANGLE 23 

0.3289 ; find A. An examination of tlie sine column shows 
that the given value lies between sin 19° 10' (= 0.3283) and 
sin 19° 20'(= 0.3311). We note the tabular difference to be 28. 
The correction to be applied to 19^ 10' is then ^\ of 10' = f f ' 
= i^^' = 2.1'. Hence A = 19° 12.1'. (With a four place table 
do not carry your interpolation farther than the nearest tenth 
of a minute.) (See § 20.) 

EXERCISES 

1. For practice in the use of tables, verify the following : 

(a) sin 18° 20' = 0.3145 (d) sin 27M-1' =0.4576 (6^) sin 62° 24M = 0.886 2 
(6) cos 37'^ 30' =0.7934 (e) cos 34° 11' =0.8272 (/i) cos 59° 46' .2 =0.5034 
(c) tan 75° 50' = 3.9617 (/) tan 68° 21' = 2.5173 (i) tan 14° 55'.6 =0.2665 
Assume first that the angles are given and verify the values of the 
functions. Then assume the values of the functions to be given and 
verify the angles.

lar pentagon whose side is 14 feet. 

11. If a chord of a circle is two thirds of the radius, how large an 
angle at the center does the chord subtend ? 

19. Computation with Approximate Data. Significant 
Figures. The numerical applications of trigonometry (in sur- 
veying, navigation, engineering, etc.) are concerned with com- 
puting the values of certain unknown quantities (distances, 
angles, etc.) from known data which are secured by measure- 
ment. Now, any direct measurement is necessarily an approxi- 
mation. A measurement may be made with greater or less 
accuracy according to the needs of the problem in hand — but 
it can never be absolutely exact. Thus, the information on a 
signpost that a certain village is 6 miles distant merely 
means that the distance is 6 miles to the nearest mile — i.e. that 
the distance is between 5^ and 6^ miles. Measurements in a 
physical or engineering laboratory need sometimes to be made to 
the nearest one thousandth of an inch. For example the bore 
of an engine cylinder may be measured to be 3.496 in., which 
means that the bore is between 3.4955 in. and 3.4965 in. 

A simple convention makes it possible to recognize at a 
glance the degree of accuracy implied by a number represent- 
ing an approximate measure (either direct or computed). This 
convention consists simply in the agreement to write no more 
figures than the accuracy warrants. Thus in arithmetic 6 and 
6.0 and 6.00 all mean the same thing. This is not so, when 
these numbers are used to express the result of measurement 
or the result of computation from approximate data. Thus 6 
means that the result is accurate to the nearest unit, 6.0 that 



II, § 20] THE RIGHT TRIANGLE 25 

it is accurate to the nearest tenth of a unit, 6.00 to the nearest 
hundredth of a unit. 

These considerations have an important bearing on practical 
computation. If the side of a square is measured and found 
to be 3.6 in. and the length of the diagonal is cbmputed by 
the formula : diagonal = side x V2, it would be wrong to write 
= 3.6 X V2 = 3.6 X 1.4142 = 5.09112 in. The correct result 
is 5.1 in. For the computed value of the diagonal cannot be 
more accurate than the measured value of the side. The result 
5.09112 must therefore be " rounded off ^' to two significant 
figures, which gives 5.1. As a matter of fact for the purpose 
of this problem V2 = 1.4142 should be rounded before multi- 
plication to \/2 = 1.4 ; thereby reducing the amount of labor 
necessary. 

A number is '' rounded off,*' by dropping one or more digits 
at the right and, if the last digit dropped is 5^, 6, 7, 8, or 9 
increasing the preceding digit by 1.^ Thus the successive 
approximations to tt obtained by rounding of 3.14159 ••• are 
3.1416, 3.142, 3.14, 3.1, 3. 

20. The Number of Significant Figures of a number (in the 
decimal notation) may now be defined as the total number of 
digits in the number, except that if the number has no digits 
to the right of the decimal point, any zeros occurring between 
the decimal point and the first digit different from zero are 
not counted as significant. Thus, 34.06 and 3,406,000 are both 
numbers of four significant figures : while 3,406,000.0 is a 
number of eight significant figures.! 

* In roundino: off a 5 computers round off to an even digit. Thus .1.415 
would be rounded to 1.42, whereas 1.445 would be rounded to 1.44. If this 
rule is used consistently the errors made will tend to compensate each other. 

t Confusion will arise in only one case. For example, if 3999.7 were 
rounded by droppinoj the 7 we should write it as 4000 which according to the 
above definition would have only 1 significant figure, whereas we know from 
the way it was obtained that all four figures are significant. In such a case 
we may underscore the zeros to indicate they are significant or use some 
other device. 



26 PLANE TRIGONOMETRY [II, § 20 

In any computation involving multiplication or division the 
number of significant figures is generally used as a measure of 
the accuracy of the data. A computed result should not in 
general contain more significant figures than the least accurate 
of the data. But computers generally retain one additional 
figure during the computation and then properly round off the 
final result. Even then the last digit may be inaccurate — but 
that is unavoidable. 

The following general rules will be of use in determining 
the degree of accuracy to be expected and in avoiding useless 
labor : 

1. Distances expressed to two significant figures call for 
angles expressed to the nearest 30' and vice versa. 

2. Distances expressed to three significant figures call for 
angles expressed to the nearest 5', and vice versa, 

3. Distances expressed to four significant figures call for 
angles expressed to the nearest minute, and vice versa. 

4. Distances expressed to five significant figures call for 
angles expressed to the nearest tenth of a minute, and vice 
versa. 

In working numerical problems the student should use every 
safeguard to avoid errors. Neatness and systematic arrange- 
ment of the work are important in this connection. All work 
should be checked in one or more of the following ways. 
1. Gross errors may be detected by habitually asking oneself : 
Is this result reasonable or sensible ? 2. A figure drawn to 
scale makes it possible to measure the unknown parts and to 
compare the results of such measurements with the computed 
results. 3. An accurate check can often be secured with com- 
paratively little additional labor by computing one of the 
quantities from two different formulas or by verifying a 
known relation. For example, if the legs a, 6 of a right tri- 
angle have been computed by the formulas a = c sin ^ and 
6 = c cos A, we may check by verifying the relation a^ + 6^ = c^.

and find the third digit 2 at the head of a certain column. At 
the intersection of the line and column thus determined we 
find the desired result (5.92)2 ^ 35,95, The square of 8.27 is 
found similarly at the intersection of the line corresponding 
to 8.2 and the column headed 7. To find (10.17)^, we find the 
line corresponding to 1.0 (the first two digits, neglecting the 
decimal point) and find (1.01)^ = 1.020 and (1.02)2 = 1.040. 
By interpolating, as explained in § 18, we find (1.017)2 = 1.034. 
Now shifting the decimal point one place in the "number" 
requires a corresponding shift of two places in the square. 
Hence, (10.17)2 = 103.4. 

The table can also be used to find the square root of a num- 
ber. Thus to find V2 we find, on working backwards in this 
table, that 2 lies between 1.988 [=(1.41)^] and 2.016 [ = (1.42)2]. 
By interpolation we then find V2 = 1.414, correct to four 
significant places. [Tabular difference = 28 ; correction = -^^ 
= 4 in the fourth place.] 



♦The retention of four significant figures in AB is justified because the 
number is so small at the left.

Defixitiox. The course of a 

ship is the direction in which she 

is sailing. It is given either by 

the points of a mariner's compass 

(Fig. 21) as X. E. hy X. or in 

degrees and minutes measured 

dockicise from the north. Observe 

that a " point '^ on a mariner's 

compass is 11° 15'. Hence for 

example, the course of a ship 

could be given either as X. E. by 

N. or as 33° 45'. A course S. E. by S. is the same as a course 

of 146° 15'. 

The distance a ship travels on a given course is always given 
Departure ^ uautlcal mllcs or knots. A knot is the length 
of a minute of arc on the earth's equator. (The 
earth's circumference is then 360 x 60 = 21,600 
knots.) The horizontal component of the dis- 
tance is called the departure, the vertical com- 
ponent is called the difference in latitude. The 
departure is usually given in miles (knots), the 
difference in latitude in decrees and minutes. 




Fig. 22 



Example. A ship starts from a position in 22° 12' X. lati- 
tude, and sails 321 knots on a course of 31° 15'. Find the 
difference in latitude, the departure, and the latitude of the 
new position of the ship, 
diff. in lat. = distance times cosine of course 

= 321 cos 31° 15' 

= 321 X 0.855 = 274' = 4° 34'. 
departure = distance times sine of course 

= 321 sin 31° 15' 

= 321 X 0.519 = 167 knots. 




Since the ship is sailing on a course wliich increases the lati- 



30 PLANE TRIGONOMETRY [II, § 22 

tude, the latitude of the new position is 22° 12' + 4° 34' = 26° 
46' N. 

Knowing the difference in latitude and the departure, we are 
able to calculate the new position of the ship, if the original 
position is known. In the preceding example, we found the 
latitude of the new position from the difference in latitude. 
To find the difference in longitude from the departure is not 
quite so simple. As the latitude increases, a given departure 
implies an increasing difference in longitude. Only on the 
equator is the departure of one nautical mile equivalent to a 
difference in longitude of one minute. 

The adjacent figure shows a departure AB in latitude <f}. 
The difference in longitude (in minutes) corresponding to AB 
is clearly the number of nautical miles in 
CD, Xow arcs AB and CD are proportional 
to their radii FA and OC. Or, 

CD = ^ ^ AB=-^^. (Why ?) 
FA cos(/> ^ -^ ^ 

In practice, it is customary to take for <^ 
in the determination of difference in longi- 
tude the so-called middle latitude^ i.e. the 
latitude halfway between the original latitude and the final 
latitude. 

Thus in the preceding example, the original latitude was 
22° 12' N, the final latitude was 26° 46' N. The middle lati- 
tude is therefore i (22° 12' + 26° 46')= 24° 29'. Hence

CSC 6 * sin ^ = 1, sec d • cos 6 = 1, ctn 6 • tan 6 = 1. 

To the above functions may be added versed sine (written versin), the 
coversed sine (written coversin), and the external secant (written exsec), 
which are defined by the equations versin d = 1 — cos d^ coversin 6 = 
1 — sin ^, and exsec 6 = sec 6 — 1. Of importance in navigation and service- 
able in other applications (see § 38) is the haversine (written hav) 
which is defined to be equal to one half the versed sine ; i.e. 

have = 1(1 — COS0).

a circle of unit radius. Let P{x, y) be the point where the 
circle meets the terminal side of 6. Then 



sin (9 = ^=?/, cos (9 = 1 = a;, 



i.e. the sine is represented by the ordinate of P and the cosine 
by the abscissa. Hence the sine and cosine have respectively 
the same signs as the ordinate and abscissa of P. 

If we draw a tangent to the circle at the point A where the

cut off on the tangent line and hence these angles have no 
tangents.

1. From Fig. 24 prove sin^ 8 + cos^ ^ = 1. 

2. From Fig. 25 prove 1 + tan2 6 = sec^ ^. 

3. From Fig. 26 prove 1 + ctn2 6 = csc2 e, 

25. Relations among the Trigonometric Functions. As 

one might imagine, the six trigonometric functions sine, cosine, 
tangent, cosecant, secant, cotangent are connected by certain 
relations. We shall now find some of these relations. 

From Eig. 9 (§ 10) it is seen that for all cases we have 
(1) x^ + y^ = r\ 

If we divide both sides of (1) by r^, we have 

- + ^ = 1 (by hypothesis r=^0); 
or 



sin2 e + cos2 e = 1. 

Dividing both sides of (1) by x^, we have 



7/2 A.2 

1 + -. = ^ (if o; =5^0). 



Therefore, 



x^ x"- 
1 + tan2 e = sec2 6. 

Similarly dividing both sides of (1) by ]p- gives

26. Identities. By means of the relations just proved 
any expression containing trigonometric functions may be 
put into a number of different forms. It is often of the 
greatest importance to notice that two expressions, although 
of a different form, are nevertheless identical in value. (How 
was an "^ identity'' defined in algebra ?) 

The truth of an identity is usually established by reducing 
both sides, either to the same expression, or to two expres- 
sions which we know to be identical. The following examples 
will illustrate the methods used. 

Example 1. Prove the relation sec2 d + csc^ 6 = sec2 d csc2 d. 
We may write the given equation in the form 

^ + -^^ = sec2 ^ csc2 (9, 



cos2 6 sin2 e 
sin2 d + cos2 e 



~ sec2 d csc2 ^, 



which reduces to 



cos2 e sin2 e 

= = sec2 d csc2 d. 

cos2 e sin2 d 

sec2 d csc2 (9 = sec2 ^ csc2 d. 



Since this is an identity, it follows, by retracing the steps, that the 
given equality is identically true. 

Both members of the given equality are undefined for the angles 0^, 90°, 
180°, 270°, 360°, or any multiples of these angles. 

PQc2 

Example 2. Prove the identity 1 + sin ^ = 

^ 1 - sin ^ 

Since cos2 ^ = l — sin2 d, we may write the given equation in the form 

1 + sin ^ = ^ ~~ '^"^'^ ^ or 1 4- sin ^ = 1 + sin d. 
1 - sin ^ 



36 PLANE TRIGONOMETRY [III, § 26 

As in Example 1, this shows that the given equahty is identically true. 

The right-hand member has no meaning when sin ^ = 1 , while the left- 
hand member is defined for all angles. We have, therefore,- proved that 
the two members are equal except for the angle 90*^ or (4 m-|-1)90°, where 
n is any integer. 

The formulas of § 25 may be used to solve examples of the 
type given in § 16. 

Example 3. Given that sin 6 = -^\ and that tan d is negative, find the 
values of the other trigonometric functions. 

Since sin^ d -\- cos2 ^ = 1, it follows that cos 6 = ± ^|, but since tan is 
negative, lies in the second quadrant and cos d must be — i|. More- 
over, the relation tan = sin ^/cos gives tan =— y\. The reciprocals 
of these functions give sec ^ = — i|, esc = J/, ctn = — -y.

Definition. The sine and cosine, the tangent and cotangent,

The above results may be stated as follows : Any function 
of an angle is equal to the corresponding cofunction of the com- 
plementary angle,^ 

28. The Trigonometric Functions of 180° — 6. By draw- 
ing figures as in § 27, the following relations may be proved : 
sin (180° - ^) = sin 6, esc (180° -0)= esc 6, 

cos (180° - 6>) = - cos 6, sec (180° - 0) = - sec 6, 

tan (180° - 6>) = - tan 6, ctn (180° - 6>) = - ctn 6. 

The proof is left as an exercise. 

* Two angles are said to be complementary if their sum is 90°, regardless 
of the size of the ano^les. 



Ill, § 29] SIMPLE TRIGONOMETRIC RELATIONS 39 

29. The result of § 27 shows why it is possible to arrange 
the tables of the trigonometric functions with angles from 0° 
to 45° at the top of the pages and angles from 45° to 90° at 
the bottom of the pages. For example, since sin (90° — 0) = cos 0, 
the entry for cos 6 will serve equally well for sin (S0° — 0). 
As particular instances we may note sin 67° = cos 23°, tan 67° 
= ctn 23°, cos 67° = sin 23°. Verify these from the table. 

The result of § 28 enables us to find the values of the func- 
tions of an obtuse angle from tables that give the values only 
for acute angles. It will be noted that § 28 says that a7iy 
function of an obtuse angle is in absolute value equal to the same 
function of its supplementary angle but may differ from it in 
sign. 

Thus to find tan 137° we know that it is in absolute value 
the same as tan (180° - 137°) = tan 43° = 0.9325. But tan 137° 
is negative. Hence 

tan 137° = - 0.9325. 

Similarly, sin 137° = 0.6820. 

cos 137° = - 0.7314.

tan 146°, sin 136^ cos 173^ tan 100^, cos 96^ sin 138%

ment would give a/sin A = c/sin (7. Hence, we have

This law is known as the law of sines and may be stated as 
follows : Any two sides of a triangle are proportional to the 
sines of the angles opjjosite these sides. 

31. Law of Cosines. Consider any triangle ABC with the 
altitude CD drawn from the vertex C (Fig. 29). 
In Fig. 29 a 

AD = b cos A ; CD = b sin A ; DB = c — b cos A. 
In Fig. 29 b 

AD = — b cos A ; CD = b sin A ; DB = c — b cos A, 
In both figures 

a2 = DB'- + CD^.

whence 

a2 = 62 + c2 — 2 &c cos .4. 

The result holds also when J. is a right angle. Why ? 
Similarly it may be shown that 

62 = c2 + a^ - 2 ca cos B, 
c2 = a2 + 62-2a6cos C. 

Any one of these similar results is called the law of cosines. 
It may be stated as follows : 

Tlie square of any side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 
squares of the other two sides diminished by twice the product of 
these two sides times the cosine of their included angle.^ 

32. Solution of Triangles. To solve a triangle is to find 
the parts not given, when certain parts are given. From 
geometry we know that a triangle is in general determined 
when three parts of the triangle, one of which is a side, 
are given.f Eight triangles have already been solved 
(§ 15), and we shall now make use of the laws of sines and 
cosines to solve oblique triangles. The methods employed 
will be illustrated by some examples. It will be found 
advantageous to construct the triangle to scale, for by so doing 
one can often detect errors which may have been made. 

* Of what three theorems in elementary geometry is this the equivalent ? 
t When two sides and an angle opposite one of them are given, the triangle 
is not always determined. Why ?

LOGARITHMS 

39. The Invention of Logarithms. The extensive numeri- 
cal computations required in business, in science, and in engi- 
neering were greatly simplified by the invention of logarithms 
by John Napier, Baron of Merchiston (1550-1617). By means 
of logarithms w^ are able to replace multiplication and division 
by addition and subtraction, processes which we all realize are 
more expeditious than the first two. 

If we consider the successive integral powers of 2

we see that the results form a geometric progression (G. P.) 
and the exponents an arithmetic progression (A. P.). We 
know from elementary algebra that 



and

■ = X"" 



Hence if we wish to multiply two numbers in our G. P. e.g, 
4 X 8, we merely have to add the corresponding exponents 2 
and 3 and under the sum 5 find the desired product 32. Sim- 
ilarly, if we wish to divide e.g. 4096 by 128, we merely have to 
subtract the exponent corresponding to 128, from that cor-

responding to 4096 and under their difference 5 we find ^he 
desired quotient 32. 

To make the above plan at all useful it is evident that our 
table must be expanded so as to contain more numbers. First 
we can expand our table so that it will contain numbers less 
than 2, by subtracting 1 successively from the numbers in the 
A. P. and by dividing successively by 2 the numbers in the 
G.P.

In the second place we may find new numbers by inserting 
arithmetic means and geometric means. Thus, if we take the

By continuing this process we can make any number appear 
in the G. P. to as high a degree of approximation as we desire. 
To prepare an extensive table, which gives values at small inter- 
vals, is quite laborious. However, it has been done, and we 
have printed tables so complete that actual multiplication of 
any two numbers can' be replaced by addition of two other 
numbers. We shall soon learn how to use such tables. 

40. Definition of the Logarithm. The logarithm of a 

number ^ to a base 6 (6 > 0, =5!^ 1) is the exponent x of 
the power to which the base h must be raised to produce the 
number J^, 
That is, if 

&- = AT, 
then 

These two equations are of the highest importance in all work 
concerning logarithms. One should keep in mind the fact 
that if either of them is given, the other may always be 
inferred. 

The numbers forming the A. P. in tables 1, 2, and 3 of § 39 
are the logarithms of the corresponding numbers in the G. P., 
the base being 2. From table 3 we have 2^ = 4\/2 which says 
log2 4V2 = |. 

EXERCISES 

1. When 3 is the base what are the logarithms of 9, 27, 3, 1, 81, 1,

2. Why cannot 1 be used as the base of a system of logarithms ? 

3. When 10 is the base what are the logarithms of 1, 10, 100, 1000 ? 

4. Find the values of x which will satisfy each of the following 
equalities : 

(a) logs 27 = X. (d) logo a = X. {g) logs x = 6. 

(6) log^ 3 = 1. (e) loga 1 = X. {K) logas x = J. 

(c) log^ 5 = i. (/) loga -h = ^' (0 logo.ooi x = 2.

(a) log 2 16. (c) loge^l^ (e) log25 125. 

(6) log343 49. (d) log2Vi6. (/) log2^V. 

41. The Three Fundamental Laws of Logarithms. From 
the laws of exponents we derive, the following fundamental 
laws. 

I. The logarithm of a product equals the sum of the logarithms 
of its factors. Symbolically, 

logft MN = log5 M + logft A^. 

Proof. Let log^ M = x, then b"" = M. Let log^ ^= !/) then 
6'^ = X. Hence we have 3fJSf = &^+^, or 

log, MX =x + y, i.e. log, JAY = log, M + log, JV. 

II. TJie logarithm of a quotient equals the logarithm of the 
dividend minus the logarithm of the divisor. Symbolically, 

log6^= logft M — logfe N. 

N 

Proof. Let log, M = x, then 6^ = M. Let log, X^ y, then 
6'^ = X. Hence we have M/X = 6^~^, or 

M M 

^ogt,^— = x-y, i.e. log,^ = log, Jf - log, Y". 

III. The logarithm of the pth power of a number equals p 
times the logarithm of the number. Symbolically 

logft MP = p logft M. 

Proof. Let log, M = x, then b"" = M. Kaising both sides 
to the ^th power, we have b^"" = M^. Therefore 

log, M^ =2)x = p log, .v. 

Prom law III it follows that the logarithm of the real jjositive 
nth root of a number is one nth of the logarithm of the member.

(d) logio (2)25. (e) logio (3)3(5)6, (/) logio(23)(i). 

42. Logarithms to the Base 10. Logarithms to the base 10 
are known as common or Briggian logarithms. Proceeding as 
in § 39 we can show that lO^-^^^^^ = 2, i.e. logio ^ = 0.3010. Let 
us multiply both members of the equation lO^-^^^^ = 2 by 10, 10^, 
10^, etc. and notice the effect on the logarithm. 
100.3010 ^ 2 logio 2 = 0.3010 

10 3«io = 20 logio 20 = 1.3010 

1Q2.3010 ^ 200 logio 200 = 2.3010. 

It should be clear from this example that the decimal part of 
the logarithm (called the mantissa) of a number greater than 1 
depends only on the succession of figures composing the num- 
ber and not on the position of the decimal point, while the in- 
tegral part (called the characteristic) depends simply on the 
position of the decimal point. Hence it is only necessary to 
tabulate the mantissas, for the characteristics can be found by 
inspection as the following considerations show. 

Since 
100 = 1, 10^ = 10, 102 = 100, 10^ = 1000, 10^ = 10,000, etc. 
we have logio 1 = 0, log^o 10 = 1, log^o 100 = 2, 

logio 1000 = 3, logio 10,000 = 4, etc. 



V, § 42] LOGARITHMS 55 

It follows that a number with one digit (9^= 0) at the left of the 
decimal poiut has for its logarithm a number equal to + a 
decimal ; a number with tv:o digits at the left of its decimal 
point has for its logarithm a number equal to 1 + a decimal ; a 
number with three digits at the left of the decimal point has 
for its logarithm a number equal to 2 + a decimal, etc. We 
conclude, therefore, that the characteristic of the common loga- 
rithm of a number greater than 1 is one less than the number of 
digits at the left of the decimal point. 

Thus, logio 456.07 = 2.65903. 

The case of a logarithm of a number less than 1 requires 
special consideration. Taking the numerical example first con- 
sidered above, if logio 2 = 0.30103, we have logio 0.2 = 0.30103-1. 
Why? This is a negative number, as it should be (since the 
logarithms of numbers less than 1 are all negative, if the 
base is greater than 1). But, if we were to carry out this 
subtraction and write logio 0-- = — 0.69897 (which would be 
correct), it would change the mantissa, which is inconvenient. 
Hence it is customary to write such a logarithm in the form 
9.30103 - 10. 

If there are n ciphers immediately following the decimal 
point in a number less than 1, the characteristic is — n— 1. 
For convenience, if n < 10, we icrite this as (9 — n) — 10. TJiis 
characteristic is ivntten in two parts. The first part 9 — n is 
icritten at the left of the mantissa and the — 10 at the right. 

In the sequel, unless the contrary is specifically stated, we 
shall assume that all logarithms are to the base 10. We may 
accordingly omit writing the base in the symbol log when there 
is no danger of confusion. Thus, the equation log 2 = 0.30103 
means logio 2 = 0.30103. 

To make practical use of logarithms in computation it is 
necessary to have a conveniently arranged table from which 
we can find (a) the logarithm of a given number and (b) the 
number corresponding to a given logarithm. The general 



56 PLANE TRIGONOMETRY [V, § 42 

principles governing the use of tables will be explained by the 
following examples [Tables, pp. 110, 111]. 

Example 1. Find log 42.7. 

The characteristic is 1. In the column headed N (p. 110) we find 42 
and if we follow this row across to the column headed 7, we read 6304, 
which is the desired mantissa. Hence log 42.7 = 1.6304. 

Example 2. Eind log 0.03273. 

The characteristic is 8 — 10. The mantissa cannot be found in our 
table, but we can obtain it by a process called interpolation. We shall 
assume that to a small change in the number there corresponds a propor- 
tional change in the mantissa. Schematically we have 

Number Mantissa 

^ r3270 -> 5145- 

^13273 — > ? 14 = difference 

3280 -> 5159 



difference = 10 



Our desired mantissa is 5145 + j3_ . 14 = 5149. Hence log 0.03273 
= 8.5149 - 10. 

Example 3. Find x when logic = 0.8485. 

We cannot find this mantissa in our table, but we can find 8482 and 
8488 which correspond to 7050 and 7060 respectively. Reversing the 
process of example 2, we have schematically 







Number

84821 1 
8485J 




Difference = 


10 


? •<r- 


6 = difference 






7060 <- 


8488 





Hence the significant figures in our required number are 7050 + | . 10 
= 7055. Since the characteristic is the required number is 7.055. 

EXERCISES 

1. Eind the logarithms of the following numbers from the table on 
pp. 110, 111 : 482, 26.4, 6.857, 9001, 0.5932, 0.08628, 0.00038. 

2. Eind the numbers corresponding to the following logarithms : 
2.7935, 0.3502, 7.9599 - 10, 9.5300 - 10, 3.6598, 1.0958. 

43. Use of Logarithms in Computation. The way in 

which logarithms may be used in computation will be suffi- 
ciently explained in the following examples. A few devices 
often necessary or at least desirable will be introduced. The 



V, § 43] LOGARITHMS 57 

latter are usually self-explanatory. Eeference is made t6 
them here, in order that one may be sure to note them when 
they arise. The use of logarithms in computation depends, of 
eou3-se, on the fundamental properties derived in § 41. 

Example 1. Find the value of 73.26 x 8.914 x 0.9214. 
We find the logarithms of the factors, add them, and then find the 
number corresponding to this logarithm. The work may be arranged as 
follows :

Whenever an example involves several different operations on the 
logarithms as in this case, it is desirable to make out a blank form. When 
a blank form is used, all logarithms should be looked up first and entered 
in their proper places. After this has been done, the necessary opera- 
tions (addition, subtraction, etc.) are performed. Such a procedure 
saves time and minimizes the chance of error.

44. Cologarithms. Since — and M are equivalent, 

we may in a logarithmic computation, add the logarithm of 
— instead of subtracting log N, The logarithm of — is 

called the cologarithm of N, Therefore 

colog N = log 1/^ = log 1 — log N = — log N, 

since log 1 is zero. 

We write cologarithms, like logarithms, with positive man- 
tissas. Therefore the cologarithm is most easily found by sub-^ 
tracting the logarithm from zero, written in the form 10.0000 
-^10. 

Example. Find the colog 27.3. 

10.0000 - 10 
lo g 27. 3 rr 1.4362 
colog 27. 3= 8.6638-10 

The cologarithm can be written down immediately by subtracting the 
last significant figure of the logarithm from 10 and each of the others 
from 9. If the logarithm is positive the cologarithm is negative and 
hence — 10 is affixed. 

There is no gain in using cologarithms when we have a quotient of two 
numbers. There is an advantage when either the numerator or denomi- 
nator contains two or more factors, for we can save an operation of addi 
tion or subtraction. Let us solve Ex. 4, § 43, using cologarithms.

CHAPTER VI 

LOGARITHMIC COMPUTATION 

45. Logarithmic Computation. In the last chapter a few 
examples of the use of logarithms in computation were given 
in connection with a four-place table. Such a table suffices 
for data and results accurate to four significant figures. When 
greater accuracy is desired we use a five-, six-, or seven-place 
table. 

No subject is better adapted to illustrate the use of logarith- 
mic computation than the solution of triangles, which we shall 
consider in some detail. Five-place tables and logarithmic 
solutions ordinarily are used at the same time, since both tend 
toward greater speed and accuracy. 

46. Five-place Tables of Logarithms and Trigonometric 
Functions. The use of a five-place table of logarithms differs 
from that of a four-place table in the general use of so-called 
" interpolation tables '' or " tables of proportional parts,'' to 
facilitate interpolation. Since the use of such tables of pro- 
portional parts is fully explained in every good set of tables, 
it is unnecessary to give such an explanation here. It will be 
assumed that the student has made himself familiar with their 
use."^ 

In the logarithmic solution of a triangle we nearly always 
need to find the logarithms of certain trigonometric functions. 
For example, if the angles A and B and the side a are given, 
we find the side b from the law of sines given in § 30, 

, a sin 5 

^ = — — T' 

suiA 

* For this chapter, such a five-place table should be purchased. See, for 
example. The Macmillan Tables, which contain all the tables mentioned 
here with an explanation of their use. 

61 



62 PLANE TRIGONOMETRY [VI, § 46 

To use logarithms we should then have to find log a, log (sin B) 
and log (sin A), With only a table of natural functions and a 
table of logarithms at our disposal, we should have to find first 
sin Ay and then log sin A. For example, ii A = 36° 20', we 
would find sin 36° 20' = 0.59248, and from this would find log 
sin 36° 20' = log 0.59248 = 9.77268 - 10. This double use of 
tables has been made unnecessary by the direct tabulation of the 
logarithms of the trigonometric functions in terms of the angles. 
Such tables are called tables of logarithmic sines, logarithmic 
cosines, etc. Their use is explained in any good set of tables. 
The following exercises are for the purpose of familiarizing 
the student with the use of such tables. 

EXERCISES 

1. Find the following logarithms : *

47. The Logarithmic Solution of Triangles. The effective 
use of logarithms in numerical computation depends largely on 
a proper arrangement of the work. In order to secure this, 
the arrangement should be carefully planned beforehand by 
constructing a blank form, which is afterwards filled in. More- 
over, a practical computation is not complete until its accuracy 
has been checked. The blank form should provide also for a 
good check. Most computers find it advantageous to arrange 

* Five-place logarithms are properly used when angles are measured to the 
nearest tenth of a minute. For accuracy to the nearest second, six places 
should be used. 



VI, § 48] LOGARITHMIC COMPUTATION 63, 

the work in two columns, the one at the left containing the 
given numbers and the computed results, the one on the right 
containing the logarithms of the numbers each in the same 
horizontal line with its number. The work should be so 
arranged that every number or logarithm that appears is 
properly labeled ; for it often happens that the same number 
or logarithm is used several times in the same computation and 
it should be possible to locate it at a glance when it is wanted. 
The solution of triangles may be conveniently classified 
under four cases : 

Case I. Given two angles and one side. 

Case II. Given two sides and the angle opposite one of the 
sides. 

Case III. Given tivo sides and the included angle. 

Case IV. Given the three sides. 

In each case it is desirable (1) to draw a figure representing 
the triangle to be solved with sufficient accuracy to serve as a 
rough check on the results ; (2) to write out all the formulas 
needed for the solution and the check ; (3) to prepare a blank 
form for the logarithmic solution on the basis of these 
formulas ; (4) to fill in the blank form and thus to complete 
the solution. 

We give a sample of a blank form under Case I ; the student 
should prepare his own forms for the other cases. 

48. Case I. Given Two Angles and One Side.

corresponding numbers. Thus in Fig. 44 the point marked 1 on scale B 
is set opposite the point marked 2.5 on scale A. The point marked 4 on 
scale B will be opposite the point marked 10 on scale A, i.e. 2.6 x 4: = 10. 
Similarly we read 2.5 x 3.2 = 8, 2.5 x 2.5 = 6.25. Other multiphcations 
can be performed in an analogous manner. 

Division can be performed by reversing the operation. Thus in Fig. 44 
every number of scale B is the result of dividing the number above it by 
2.5. Thus we read 7.2-4- 2.5 = 2.9 approximately. 

Since scales C and D are twice as large as scales A and B, it follows 
that the numbers in these scales are the square roots of the numbers 
opposite to them in scales A and B. Conversely the numbers on scales 
A and B are the squares of the numbers opposite them on scales C and 
D. Moreover the scales C and D can be used for multiplying and divid- 
ing, but the range of numbers is not so large. • 

For a more complete discussion of the use of a sHde rule consult the 
book of instructions published by any of the manufacturers of slide rules, 
where also exercises will be found for practice. 



CHAPTER VII 
TRIGONOMETRIC RELATIONS 

56. Radian Measure. In certain kinds of work it is more 
convenient in measuring angles to use, instead of the degree, 
a unit called the radian. A radian is defined as the angle at 
the center of a circle whose subtended arc is equal in length 
to the radius of the circle (Fig. 45). Therefore, if an angle 
at the center of a circle of radius 7' units subtends an arc of 
s units, the measure of in radians is 

(1) 6 = ^. 

Since the length of the whole circle is 2 7rr, it follows that 

— = 2 TT radians = 360^ 
/• 

or 

(2) IT radians = 180°. 
Therefore, 

180° _ _ 

1 radian = = o<° 1/ 45" (approximately). p^^ ^- 

TT 

It is important to note that the radian ^ as delined is a con- 
stant angle, i.e. it is the same for all circles, and can therefore 
be used as a unit of measure. 

From relation (2) it follows that to convert radians into 
degrees it is only necessary to multiply the number of radians 
by ISO/tt, while to convert degrees into radians we multiply 
the number of degrees by 7r/180. Thus 45° is tt '4 radians ; 
TT 2 radians is 90°. 

* The symbol *" is ofteif used to denote radians. Thus 2'' stands for 2 
radians, tt'' for tt radians, etc. When the angle is expressed in terms of tt (the 
radian being the unit), it is customary to omit ^ Thus, when we refer to an 
angle tt, we mean an angle of tt radians. AVhen the word radian is omitted, 
it should be mentally supplied in order to avoid the error of supposing tt 
means 180. Here, as in geometry, w = .*>. 14159. . . .

57. The Length of Arc of a Circle. Erom relation (1), 

§ 56, it follows that 

That is (Fig. 46), if a central angle is measured 
in radians, and if its intercepted arc and the 
radius of the circle are measured in terms of 
the same unit, then 
length of arc = radius X central angle in radians. 

EXERCISES 

1. Express the following angles in radians : 

25°, 145°, 225°, 300°, 270°, 450°, 1150°. 

2. Express in degrees the following angles : 

TT TtT StT q 5 it 

4' Q' Q' '4 

3. A circle has a radius of 20 inches. How many radians are there in 
an angle at the center subtended by an arc of 25 inches ? How many 
degrees are there in this same angle ? Arts, j*" ; 71° 37' approx. 

4. Find the radius of a circle in which an arc 12 inches long subtends 
an angle of 35°. 

5. The minute hand of a clock is 4 feet long. How far does its ex- 
tremity move in 22 minutes ? 

6. In how many hours is a point on the equator carried by the rotation 
of the earth on its axis through a distance equal to the diameter of the earth? 

7. A train is traveling at the rate of 10 miles per hour on a curve of 
half a mile radius. Through what angle has it turned in one minute ? 

8. A wheel 10 inches in diameter is belted to a wheel 3 inches in 
diameter. If the first wheel rotates at the rate of 5 revolutions per 
minute, at what rate is the second rotating ? How fast must the former 
rotate in order to produce 6000 revolutions per minute in the latter ? 

58. Angular Measurement in Artillery Service. The 

divided circles by means of which the guns of the United States Field 
Artillery are aimed are graduated neither in degrees nor in radians, but 
in units called mils. The mil is defined as an angle subtended by an arc 
of 6^/00 ^^ ^^^^ circumference, and is therefore equal to 
2 7r 3.1416 



6400 3200 



= 0.00098175 =(0.001 - 0.00001825) radian. 



VII, § 58] TRIGONOMETRIC RELATIONS 



77 



The mil is therefore approximately one thousandth of a radian. 
(Hence its name.)* 

Since (§57) 
length of arc = radius x central angle in radians, 
it follows that we have approximately 



lenixth of arc : 



radius 
■ lOOO' 



X central angle in mils ; 



(angle 



i.e. length of arc in yards = (radius in thousands of yards) 
in mils). The error here is about 2 ^c. 

Example 1. A battery occupies a front of 60 yd. If it is 
at 5500 yd. rans^e, what an^jle does it subtend (Fisr. 47)? We 
have, evidently, j^j^ ^j 

anffle = — = 11 mils. 
^ 5.5 

Example 2. Indirect Fire, f A battery 
posted with its right gun at G is to open fire on 
a battery at a point T, distant 2000 yd. and in- 
visible from G (Eig. 48) . The officer directing 
the fire takes post at a point B from which both 
the target T and a church spire P, distant 
3000 yd. from G, are visible. B is 100 yd. at 
the right of the Une G T and 120 yd. at the 
right of the line GP and the officer finds by 
measurement that the angle PBT contains 
3145 mils. In order to train the gun on the 
target the gunner must set off the angle PG T 
on the sight of the piece and then move the gun 

* To give an idea of the value in mils of certain angles the following has 
been taken from the Drill Regulations for Field Artillery (1911), p. 164: 

" Hold the hand vertically, palm outward, arm fully extended to the front. 
Then the angle subtended by the 

width of thumb is 40 mils 

width of first finger at second joint is 40 mils 

width of second finger at second joint is .... 40 mils 

width of third finger at second joint is 35 mils 

width of little finger at second joint is 30 mils 

width of first, second, and third fingers at second joint is . 115 mils 
These are average values." 

t The limits of the text preclude giving more than a single illustration of 
the problems arising in artillery practice. For other problems the student is 
referred to the Drill Regulations for Field Artillery (1911), pp. 57, 61, 150-164 ; 
and to Andrews, Fundamental of Military Service, pp. 153-159, from which 
latter text the above example is taken. 




78 PLANE TRIGONOMETRY [VII, § 58 

until the spire P is visible through the sight. When this is effected, the 
gun is aimed at T. 

Let F and E be the feet of the perpendiculars from B to GT and GP 
respectively, and let BT' and BP' be the parallels to GT and GP that 
pass through B. Then, evidently, if the officer at B measures the angle 
PB r, which would be used instead of angle PG T were the gun at B in- 
stead of at G, and determines the angles TBT' = FTB and PBP' = EPB, 
he can find the angle PG T from the relation 

PGT = P'BT' = PBT- TBT' - PBPf. 

Now tan FTB = ^,td.n EPB = ^ • 

TF PE 

Furthermore if FTB and EPB are small angles, i.e. if FB and EB are 
small compared with G T and GP respectively, the radian measure of the 
angle is approximately equal to the tangent of the angle. Why ? Hence 
we have 

FTB = t^n FTB =z^] 

G T \ 

\ approximately. 

EPB = tan EPB = ^^ \ 

GP] 

Therefore TBT = FTB = J^ radians = 50 mils, 

2000 

PBP' = EPB = ^^ radians = 40 mils. 
3000 

Hence PGT = PBT - TBV - PBP' 

- 3145 - 50 - 40 

= 3055 mils, 
which is the angle to be set off on the sight of the gun. 

Hence from the situation indicated in Fig. 48 we have the following 
rule : 

(1) Measure in mils the angle PBT from the aiming point P to the 
target T as seen at B. 

(2) Measure or estimate the offsets FB and EB in yards, the range 
GT and the distance GP of the aiming point P in thousands of yards. 

(3) Compute in mils the offset angles by means of the relations 

TBT = FTB, 
PBP' = EPB, 

TBT' = ^. 
GT

The angle TBP contains 1200 mils. Find PG T. 



59. The Sine Function. Let us trace in a general way the 
variation of the function sin ^ as ^ increases from 0° to 360°. 
For this purpose it will be convenient to think of the distance 
r as constant, from which it follows that 
the locus of P is a circle. When 6 = 0°, the 
point P lies on the o^-axis and hence the 
ordinate is 0, i.e. sin 0° = 0/n =0. As ^ 
increases to 90°, the ordinate increases 
until 90° is reached, when it becomes equal 
to r. Therefore, sin 90° = r/r = 1. As ^ Pig. 49 

increases from 90° to 180°, the ordinate de- 
creases until 180° is reached, when it becomes 0. Therefore 
sin 180° = 0/r = As ^ increases from 180° to 270°, the ordi- 
nate of P continually decreases algebraically and reaches its 
smallest algebraic value when 6 = 270°. In this position the 
ordinate is — r and sin 270° = — r/r = — 1. When enters 
the fourth quadrant, the ordinate of P increases (algebraically) 
until the angle reaches 360°, when the ordinate becomes 0.

[VII, § 59 



Hence, sin 360° = 0. It then appears that : 

as 6 increases from 0° to 90°, sin 6 increases from to 1 ; 

as 6 increases from 90° to 180°, sin 6 decreases from 1 to ; 

as 6 increases from 180° to 270°, sin 6 decreases from to — 1 ; 

as 6 increases from 270° to 360°, sin 6 increases from — 1 to 0. 
It is evident that the function sin 6 repeats its values in the 
same order no matter how many times the point P moves 
around the circle. We express this fact by saying that the 
function sin 6 is periodic and has a period of 360°. In symbols 
this is expressed by the equation 

sin [0 + n . 360°] = sin 9, 

where n is any positive or negative integer. 

The variation of the function sin 6 is well shown by its 
graph. To construct this graph proceed as follows : Take a 
system of rectangular axes and construct a circle of unit radius 

T 




Fig. 50 



with its center on the ir-axis (Fig. 50). Let angle XM^P = 6, 
Then the values of sin 6 for certain values of are shown in 
the unit circle as the ordinates of the end of the radius drawn 
at an angle 0.

Now let the number of degrees in 6 be represented by dis- 
tances measured along OX. At a distance that represents 30° 
erect a perpendicular equal in length to sin 30° ; at a distance

that represents 60° erect one equal in length to sin 60°, etc. 
Through the points 0, Pi, jPo? •*• draw a smooth curve ; this 
curve is the graph of the function sin 6, 

If from any point P on this graph a perpendicular PQ is 
drawn to the ;r-axis, then QP represents the sine of the angle 
represented by the segment OQ. 

Since the function is periodic, the complete graph extends 
indefinitely in both directions from the origin (Fig. 51).

60. The Cosine Function. By arguments similar to those 
used in the case of the sine function we may show that : 
as 6 increases from 0° to 90°, the cos decreases from 1 to ; 
as 6 increases from 90° to 180°, the cos decreases from to — 1 ; 
as 9 increases from 180° to 270°, the cos increases from — 1 to ; 
as increases from 270° to 360°, the cos increases from to 1. 

The graph of the function is readily constructed by a method 




Fig. 52 



similar to that used in the case of the sine function. This is 
illustrated in Fig. 52. 

The complete graph of the cosine function, like that of the 
sine function, will extend indefinitely from the origin in both

directions (Fig. 53). Moreover cos^, like sin^, i'^ periodic and 
has a period of 360°, i.e. 

cos [9 + n-360°]= cos 9, 

where n is any positive or negative integer.

61. The Tangent Function. In order to trace the varia- 
tion of the tangent function, consider a circle of unit radius 
with its center at the origin of a system of rectangular axes 
(Fig. 54). Then construct the tangent to 
this circle at the point M(l, 0) and let P 
denote any point on this tangent line. If 
angle MOP= 0, we have tan 6 = MP/OM 
= MP /I = MP, i.e. the line MP represents 
tan 6. 

Now when 6 = 0°, MP is 0, i.e. tan 0° is 0. 
As the angle increases, tan 6 increases. As 
approaches 90° as a limit, 3IP becomes 
infinite, i.e. tan 6 becomes larger than any number whatever. 

At 90° the tangent is undefined. It is sometimes convenient 
to express this fact by writing 

tan 90° =00. 

However we must remember that this is not a definition for 
tan 90°, for oo is not a number. This is merely a short way of 
saying that as approaches 90° tan becomes infinite and 
that at 90° tan is undefined. 

Thus far we have assumed 6 to be an acute angle approach- 
ing 90° as a limit. Now let us start with as an obtuse angle 



Fig. 54 



VII, § on 



TRIGONOMETRIC RI^.ATIONS 



83 




and let it decrease towards 90° as a limit. In Fig. ryB the line 
MP' (which is here negative in direction) represents tan 6, 
Arguing precisely as we did before, it is 
seen that as the angle 6 aj)proaches 90° 
as a limit, tan again increases in magni- 
tude beyond all bounds, i,e. becomes inh- 
nite, remaining, however, always negative. 
We then have the following results. 

(1) When 6 is acute and increases to- 
wards 90° as a limit, tan always remains 
positive but becomes infinite. At 90° tan is undefined. 

(2) When 9 is obtuse and decreases towards 90° as a limit, 
tan always remains negative but becomes infinite. At 90° 
tan is undefined. 

It is left as an exercise to finish tracing the variation of the 
tangent function as varies from 90° to 360°. Note that 
tan 270°, like tan 90°, is undefined. In fact tan n • 90° is unde- 
fined, if n is any odd integer. 



Fig. 




Fig. 5G 



To construct the graph of the function tan we proceed 
along lines similar to those used in constructing the graph of 
sin and cos 0. The following table together with Fig. 50 
illustrates the method.

It is important to notice that tan 6, like sin 6 and cos d^ is 
periodic, but its period is 180°. That is 

tan(e + n • 180°)= tan e, 

where n is any positive or negative integer. 

EXERCISES 

1. What is meant by the period of a trigonometric function ? 

2. What is the period of sin d ? cos 6 ? tan d ? 

3. Is sin 6 defined for all angles ? cos d ? 

4. Explain why tan 6 is undefined for certain angles. Kame four 
angles for which it is undefined. Are there any others ? 

5. Is sin (<9 + 360°) = sin 6 ? 

6. Is sin (^+ 180°) = sin 6*? 

7. Is tan (^ + 180°) = tan d ? 

8. Is tan (0 + 360°) = tan^ ? 

Draw the graphs of the following functions and explain how from the 
graph you can tell the period of the function : 

9. sin^. 11. tan^. 13. sec ^. 
10. cos (9. 12. csc^. 14. ctn6>. 

Verify the following statements : 

15. sin90° + sin270° = 0. 18. cos 180° + sin 180° =- 1. 

16. cos90° + sin0° = 0. 19. tan 360° + cos 360° = 1. 

17. tanl80° + cosl80°=- 1. 20. cos 90° + tan 180°- sin 270° = !.' 

21. Draw the graphs of the functions sin 6, cos 6, tan 6, making use of 
a table of natural functions. See p. 112. 

22. Draw the curves y = 2smd ; y = 2cose ; y = 2 tan d. 

23. Draw the curve y = sin 6 + cos 6.

the coordinates of P and (x\ y') as the coordinates of P', In

Also,

The above results can be stated as follows : The functions of 
— 6 equal numerically the like named functions of 0. The 
algebraic sign, however, will be opposite except for the cosine 
and secant. 

Example. sin-10^=— sinlO'', cos— 10^ = cos10'', tan— 10^= -tan 10°. 

63. The Trigonometric Functions of 180° + 0. Similarly, 
the following relations hold : 

sin (180° + (9) = - sin 6, esc (180° + ^) = - esc (9, 

cos (180° + (9) = - cos e, sec (180° -{-0)=- sec (9, 

tan (180° + (9) = tan (9, ctn (180° -h 0) = ctn 0. 

The proof is left as an exercise.

64. Summary. An inspection of the results of §§ 27-28, 
62-63 shows : 

1. Each function of — or 180"^ ± 6 is equal in absolute value 
(but not always in sign) to the same function of 0. 

2. Each function of 90° — is equal in magnitude and in sign 
to the corresponding co function of 6. 

These principles enable us to find the value of any function 
of any angle in terms of a function of a positive acute angle 
(not greater than 45° if desired) as the following examples 
show. 

Example 1. Beduce cos 200° to a function of an angle less than 45°. 

Since 200° is in the third quadrant, cos 200° is negative. Hence 
cos 200° = - cos 20°. Why ? 

Example 2. Reduce tan 260° to a function of an angle less than 45°. 

Since 260° is in the third quadrant, tan 260° is positive. Hence 
tan 260° = tan 80° = ctn 10° (§ 27). 

Example 3. Reduce sin (— 210°) to a function of a positive angle 
less than 45°. 

From § 62 we know sin — 210° = — sin 210°. 

Considering the positive angle 210°, we have 

sin - 210° = - sin 210° = - [ - sin 30°] = sin 30°.

CHAPTER YIII 

TRIGONOMETRIC RELATIONS (Continued) 

65. Trigonometric Equations. An identity, as we have 
seen (§ 26), is an equality between two expressions which is 
satisfied for all values of the variables for which both expres- 
sions are defined. If the equality is not satisfied for all 
values of the variables for which each side is defined, it is 
called a conditional equality, or simply an equation. Thus 
1 — cos ^ = is true only ii = n - 360°, where n is an integer. 
To solve a trigonometric equation, i.e. to find the values of 
for which the equality is true, we usually proceed as follows. 

1. Express all the trigonometric functions involved in terms 
of one trigonometric function of the sa^ne angle. 

2. Find the value (or values) of this function by ordinary 
algebraic methods. 

3. Find the angles between 0° and 360° which correspond to 
the values found. These angles are called particular solutions. 

4. Give the general solution by adding n • 360°, where n is 
any integer, to the particular solutions. 

Example 1. Find 6 when sin 6 = I. 

The particular solutions are 30° and 150*^. The general solutions are 
30° + n . 360°, 150° + n - 360°. 

Example 2. Solve the equation tan ^ sin ^ — sin ^ = 0. 

Factoring the expression, we have sin ^(tan ^ — 1) = 0. Hence we 
have sin ^ = 0, or tan ^—1 = 0. Why ? 

The particular solutions are therefore 0°, 180°, 45°, 225°. The general 
solutions are n • 360°, 180° -f n • 360^ 45° + ^ • 360°, 225° + n • 360°.

66. Inverse Trigonometric Functions. The equation 

X = sin y (1) 

may be read : 

y is an angle whose sine is equal to x, 

a statement which is usually written in the contracted form 

y = arc sin x* (2) 

For example, x = sin 30° means that x = ^, wliile y = arc sin ^ 

means that y = 30°, 150°, or in general (n being an integer), 

30° + 71 ' 360° ; 150° + n • 360°. 

Since the sine is never greater than 1 and never less than 

— 1, it follows that — 1 ^ x ^ 1. It is evident that there is 

an unlimited number of values oi y = arc sin x for a given value 

of X in this interval. 

We shall now define the principal value Arc sin a; f of arc sin x, 

distinguished from arc sin x by the use of the capital A, to be 

* Sometimes written y = sin -i x. Here — 1 is not an algebraic exponent, 
but merely a part of a functional symbol. When we wish to raise sin x to 
the power — 1, we write (sin x)-^.

the numerically smallest angle whose sine is equal to x. This func- 
tion like arc sin a? is defined only for those values of x for 
which 

The difference between arc sin a; and Arc sin a? is well illus- 
trated by means of their graph. It is 
evident that the graph oi y = arc sin x, 
i.e, X = sin y is simply the sine curve 
with the role of the x and y axes inter- 
changed. (See Fig. 58.) Then for every 
admissible value of x, there is an un- 
limited number of values of y ; namely, 
the ordinates of all the points Pi, Po, •••, in 
which a line at a distance x and parallel 
to the ?/-axis intersects the curve. The 
single-valued function Arc sin x is repre- 
sented by the part of the graph between 
IT and N. 
Similarly arc cos x, defined as " an angle whose cosine is x/^ 

has an unlimited number of values for 

every admissible value ofa;(— l^x<l) 

We shall define the principal value Arc 

cos X as the smallest positive angle whose 

cosine is x. That is, 

^ Arc cos x < IT. 



Eigure 59 represents the graph oi y = arc 
cos X, and the portion of this graph between 
M and A^ represents Arc cos x. 

Similarly we write x = tan y 2is y = arc 
tan Xy and in the same way we define the

pendiculars to q through A and B, respectively, meet q. The 
directed segment A'B' is called the projection of the directed seg- 
ment AB on q and is denoted by 

AB' = proj^ AB. 
In both figures AB is positive. In the first figure A^B^ is posi- 
tive, while in the second figure it is negative. 

As special cases of this definition we note the following : 



VIII, § 67] TRIGONOMETRIC RELATIONS 93 

1. If }) and q are parallel and are directed in the same way, 

we have 

^m]^AB = AB. 

2. If p and q are parallel and are directed oppositely, we 

have 

proj^ AB = — AB, 

3. If 2^ is perpendicular to g, we have 

proj^ AB = 0. 
It should be noted carefully that these propositions arc true 

no matter how A and B are situated on p. 

We may now prove the following important proposition : 
If A and B are any two points on a directed line p, and q is 

any directed line in the same plane with p, then we have both 

in magnitude and sign 

(1) proj^ AB = AB ' cos (pq)^ = AB • cos (qp). 

We note first from § 8 that {pq)+ (qp)= + n • 360'', where 
n is any integer. . Hence from § 64, cos (pq) = cos (qp). Two 
cases arise.

Fig. 61 

Case 1. Suppose AB is positive, i.e. it has the same direc- 
tion as p>. 

Through A draw a line q^ parallel to q and with the same 
direction. [It is evident that we may assume without loss of 
generality that q is horizontal and is directed to the right.] 
Let A^B^ be the projection of AB on q and let BB^ meet qi 
in ^1. Then by the definition of the cosine we have 

AB 

-—^ = cos (qip) — cos (pQ'i) = cos (gp) = cos {pq) 
AB 

* (P^) represents an angle through which p may be rotated in order to 
make its direction coincide with the direction of q ; similarly for {qp). 



94 PLANE TRIGONOMETRY [VIII, § 67 

in magnitude and sign. Hence 

ABi = AB • cos (pg) = AB ■ cos (qp). 
But AB, = A'B' = proj^ AB. 

Therefore proj^ AB = AB • cos (pp) = AB • cos (gjp). 

Case 2. Suppose AB is negative. 

If AB is negative, BA is positive and We have from Case 1, 
B'A' = BA • cos (pq)= BA • cos (qp). 
Changing the signs of both members of this equation, we have 
A^B' = AB • cos (pg)= AB • cos (qp). 

The special cases 1, 2, 3, are obtained from formula (1) 
by placing (qj:)) or (pq) equal to 0°, 180°, 90° respectively. 

Theorem. If A, B, C are any three points in a plane, a.nd I 
is any directed line in the p)lane, the algebraic sum of the projec- 
tions of the segments AB and BC on I is equal to the projection 
of the segment AC on I. 

As a point traces out the path from A to JB, and then from 
B to C (Eig. 62), the projection of the point traces out the 
segments from ^' to -B' and then from B^ 
to O. The net result of this motion is a 
motion from A^ to O which represents 
the projection of AC, i.e. 

AB^ + B'C = A'C\

68. The Addition Formulas. We may now derive formulas 
for sin (a + jS), cos (a + /3), and tan (a + /S) in terms of func- 
tions of a and /3. To this end 
let F (x, y) be any point on the 
terminal side of the angle a (the 
initial side being along the posi- 
tive end of the a^-axis and the 
vertex being at the origin). The 
angle a -{- (3 is then obtained by 
rotating OP through an angle 
)8. If P'{x', y') is the new posi- Fig. 68

OP = OP' = r, we have sin (« + m = ^, cos (a + i^) = - , by

definition. Our first problem is, therefore, to find x^ and y' in 

terms of x, y, and /3. 

In the figure OJWP is the new position of the triangle OMP 
after rotating it about through the angle p. Now, 

x^ = proj^ OP' = proj, OJf ' + proj^ M'P

Furthermore, by replacing yS by — ^ in (1), (2), and (3), and 
recalling that 

sin (— 13) =— sin jS, cos (— /3) = cos JS, tan (— y8) = — tan ^, 
we obtain

69. Functions of Double Angles. In this and the follow- 
ing articles (§§69-71) we shall derive from the addition 
formulas a variety of other relations which are serviceable in 
transforming trigonometric expressions. Since the formulas 
for sin (a + y8) and cos (a + ^) are true for all angles a and j8, 
they will be true when (3 = a. Putting /8 = cc, we obtain 

(1) sin 2 a = 2 sin a cos a, 

(2) cos 2 a = cos2 a — sin^ a. 
Since sin^ a + cos^ a = 1, we have also 

(3) cos 2 a = 1 - 2 sin2 a 

(4) = 2 cos2 a - 1. 

Similarly the formula for tan (a + fi) (which is true for all 
angles a, fi, and a+ ^ which have tangents) becomes, when /3= a, 

(5) tan2a= ^^^^^ , 
^ ^ l-tan2a 

which holds for every angle for which both members are defined. 
The above formulas should be learned in words. For ex- 
ample, formula (1) states that the sine of any angle equals 
twice the sine of half the angle times the cosine of half the 
angle. Thus sin 6 a: = 2 sin 3 a; cos 3 a;,

ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICAL 
ANALYSIS 

BY 

JOHN WESLEY YOUNG 

Professor of Mathematics in Dartmouth College 

And frank MILLET MORGAN 

Assistant Professor of Mathematics in Dartmouth College 



Edited by Earle Raymond Hedrick, Professor of Mathematics 
in the University of Missouri 

///., Cloth, i2mo, $2.60 

A textbook for the freshman year in colleges, universities, and 
technical schools, giving a unified treatment of the essentials of 
trigonometry, college algebra, and analytic geometry, and intro- 
ducing the student to the fundamental conceptions of calculus. 

The various subjects are unified by the great centralizing 
theme of functionality so that each subject, without losing its 
fundamental character, is shown clearly in its relationship to the 
others, and to mathematics as a whole. 

More emphasis is placed on insight and understanding of 
fundamental conceptions and modes of thought ; less emphasis 
on algebraic technique and facility of manipulation. Due recog- 
nition is given to the cultural motive for the study of mathe- 
matics and to the disciplinary value. 

The text presupposes only the usual entrance requirements in 
elementary algebra and plane geometry.

Trigonometry 



By ALFRED MONROE KENYON 

Professor of Mathematics, Purdue University 

and ^ 

LOUIS INGOLD 

Assistant Professor of Mathematics, the University of Missouri 

Edited by Earle Raymond Hedrick 

With Brief Tables, 8vo, $1.20 
With Complete Tables, 8vo, $1.50 

The book contains a minimum of purely theoretical matter. Its entire organization is 
intended to give a clear view of the meaning and the immediate usefulness of Trigonometry. 
The proofs, however, are in a form that will not require essential revision in the courses that 
follow. ... 

The number of exercises is very large, and the traditional monotony is broken by illus- 
trations from a variety of topics. Here, as well as in the text, the attempt is often made to 
lead the student to think for himself by giving suggestions rather than completed solutions 
or demonstrations. 

The text proper is short; what is there gained in space is used to make the tables very 
complete and usable. Attention is called particularly to the complete and handily arranged 
table of squares, square roots, cubes, etc. ; by its use the Pythagorean theorem and the Cosine 
Law become practicable for actual computation. The use of the slide rule and of four-place 
tables is encouraged for problems that do not demand extreme accuracy. 

Analytic Geometry and Principles of Algebra 

By ALEXANDER ZIWET 

Professor of Mathematics, the University of Michigan 

and 

LOUIS ALLEN HOPKINS 

Instructor in Mathematics, the University of Michigan 

Edited by Earle Raymond Hedrick 

Cloth, i2mo, $1.75 

This work combines with analytic geometry a number of topics traditionally treated in 
college algebra that depend upon or are closely associated with geometric sensation. Through 
this combination it becomes possible to show the student more directly the meaning and the 
usefulness of these subjects. 

The treatment of solid analytic geometry follows the more usual lines. But, in view of the 
application to mechanics, the idea of the vector is given some prominence; and the represen- 
tation of a function of two variables by contour lines as well as by a surface in space is ex- 
plained and illustrated by practical examples. 

The exercises have been selected with great care in order not only to furnish sufficient 
material for practice in algebraic work but also to stimulate independent thinking and to 
point out the applications of the theory to concrete problems. The number of exercises is 
sufl&cient to allow the instructor to make a choice.

A Short Course in Mathematics 

By R. E. MORITZ 

Professor of Mathematics, University of Washington 

Cloth J 1 2 mo 

A text containing the material essential for a short course in Freshman Mathematics which 
is complete in itself, and which contains no more material than the average Freshman can 
assimilate. The book will constitute an adequate preparation, for further study, and will 
enable the student to take up the usual course in analytical geometry without any handicap. 

Among the subjects treated are : Factoring, Radicals, Fractional and Negative Exponents, 
Imaginary Quantities, Linear and Quadratic Equations ; Coordinates, Simple and Straight 
Line Graphs, Curve Plotting, Maxima and Minima, Areas; The General Angle and Its 
Measures, The Trigonometric or Circular Functions, Functions of an Acute Angle; Solution 
of Right and Oblique Triangles; Exponents and Logarithms; Application of Logarithms to 
Numerical Exercises, to Mensuration of Plane Figures, and to Mensuration of Solids; The 
Four Cases of Oblique Triangles, Miscellaneous Problems Involving Triangles. 

Plane and Spherical Trigonometry 

By LEONARD M. PASSANO 

Associate Professor of Mathematics in the Massachusetts Institute of 

Technology 

Cloth, 8vo, $1.2 j 

The chief aims of this text are brevity, clarity, and simplicity. The author presents the 
whole field of Trigonometry in such a way as to make it interesting to students approaching

Differential and Integral Calculus 

By CLYDE E. LOVE, Ph.D. 

Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the University of Michigan 

Crown 8vo,$2.io 

Presents a first course in the calculus — substantially as the author has 
taught it at the University of Michigan for a number of years. The follow- 
ing points may be mentioned as more or less prominent features of the book : 

In the treatment of each topic the author has presented his material in 
such a way that he focuses the student's attention upon the fundamental 
principle involved, insuring his clear understanding of that, and preventing 
him from being confused by the discussion of a multitude of details. His 
constant aim has been to prevent the work from degenerating into mere 
mechanical routine; thus, w^herever possible, except in the purely formal 
parts of the course, he has avoided the summarizing of the theory into 
rules or formulae which can be applied blindly. 

The Calculus 

By ELLERY WILLIAMS DAVIS 

Professor of Mathematics, the University of Nebraska 

Assisted by William Charles Brenke, Associate Professor of Mathe- 
matics, the University of Nebraska 

Edited by Earle Raymond Hedrick

This book presents as many and as varied applications of the Calculus 
as it is possible to do without venturing into technical fields whose subject 
matter is itself unknown and incomprehensible to the student, and without 
abandoning an orderly presentation of fundamental principles. 

The same general tendency has led to the treatment of topics with a view 
toward bringing out their essential usefulness. Rigorous forms of demon- 
stration are not insisted upon, especially where the precisely rigorous proofs 
would be beyond the present grasp of the student. Rather the stress is laid 
upon the student's certain comprehension of that which is done, and his con- 
viction that the results obtained are both reasonable and useful. At the 
same time, an effort has been made to avoid those grosser errors and actual 
misstatements of fact which have often offended the teacher in texts other- 
wise attractive and teachable.
